<p>Spätzle &amp; Seil Sportkletter-Auswahlfüher Schwäbische Alb - Reutlingen - Urach - Lenningen - Ostalb - Blautal.<br></p><p>In recent years, the Swabian Alb has developed from a great alpine pseudo-sport climbing area to a really great climbing region, which occupies an important place among the German rock areas. Especially in the lower grades, the climbing in the Alb is more varied and interesting than in almost any other climbing area in the world. However, even for top climbers, the perforated limestone overhangs offer challenging routes up to the 11th grade.</p><p>Thanks to extensive renovations in recent years, many of these great routes have also become accessible to beginners and new climbers. If you want to know which of the Swabian crags are particularly suitable for familiarizing yourself with the subject of rock, this selection guide is an indispensable companion!<br></p><p>In this third completely revised and expanded new edition, 5 additional walls have been included, and a total of over 450 new routes are presented compared to the last edition.
